Adidas to Remake Iconic 1995-96 Liverpool Kit for 2025 Return | OneFootball

Adidas Signals Bold Return to Liverpool with Iconic 1995-96 Remake

Adidas rekindles historic Liverpool connection

Liverpool’s soon-to-be rekindled partnership with Adidas will not just be about new beginnings, but a nod to a treasured past. As the 2025/26 season approaches, the German sportswear titan is preparing to reintroduce one of the club’s most iconic kits — the 1995-96 away strip — as part of a nostalgic remake collection.

This collaboration officially begins next season, marking Liverpool’s third spell with Adidas. The brand previously outfitted the Reds from 1985 to 1996 and again between 2006 and 2012. The return has stirred a wave of anticipation, particularly among fans who hold the early Premier League era in special regard.

From Nike’s reign to Adidas’s revival

Liverpool’s current five-year partnership with Nike, which brought in £30 million annually plus 20 percent of merchandise revenue, delivered several memorable kits. But Adidas’s arrival represents not just a commercial shift — reportedly worth over £60 million a year through to 2029-30 — but a cultural one.

Liverpool CEO Billy Hogan underlined the shared vision behind the deal:“Adidas and Liverpool share an ambition of success, and we couldn’t be more excited to partner together again as we look forward to creating more incredible kits to help drive on-pitch performance.”

The return of the three stripes to Anfield is not only financially lucrative, but emotionally resonant. It speaks to the power of football nostalgia, the intersection of sport and style, and the enduring pull of a club’s visual identity.

Remake collection taps into fan memory

According to Footy Headlines, a source known for accurate kit leaks, Adidas plans to drop a remake of Liverpool’s distinctive 1995-96 away shirt — a bold green and white quartered design that remains a fan favourite. The collection will reportedly feature off-pitch gear and the training shirt from the same campaign.

The website stated, “The first Adidas Liverpool remake collection is expected to be available in early 2026, but it might be released earlier.” It added that Adidas “will bring back Liverpool’s 1995-96 training shirt as part of the LFC 1995-96 remake collection.”

Importantly, the range is expected to retain original design elements, including the classic Carlsberg sponsor logo — a detail that elevates the collection from mere replica to a celebration of club heritage.

Why nostalgia matters in modern football

Adidas’s approach taps into a wider trend across football — where shirts of the past are no longer just garments, but statements. They connect generations, evoke specific seasons, and hold meaning far beyond their aesthetic. For Liverpool, whose history is both deep and decorated, these kits serve as wearable storytelling.

As anticipation builds for the new kit reveal and the potential training range for 2025/26, one thing is clear: Adidas’s return is more than a change in logo. It’s a return to an era that many supporters remember vividly — and now, get to wear once more.
